'Peak debt' is the stage at which an economy or an individuals debt servicing costs become so high relative to income that spending must slow down or stop. The term 'peak debt' was coined by Jaswant Jain PhD in 2006. Jain concluded that debt will eventually reach a limit at which point consumption must be reduced to pay the debt and interest. This reduction in consumption will inevitably have a deflationary effect.

Hi Peak Debt,

I found a link to your forum on the CC site. I notice your forum seems very quiet and wonder if it's still active?

Would you be interested in joining up with my forum? I have an Australian Property Forum, also hosted on Zetaboards. The forum was created to discuss Australian house prices and the economy in general, timing of a possible house price crash (or property boom), housing affordability, global property etc.

The new Australian Property Forum is located at Australian Property Forum

Let me know if you want to join forces.

Regards,

Alex Barton (Australian Property Forum).

It is very quiet here - maybe there are too many related forums. I see that the new AP forum includes economics in its discussions. Perhaps Alex would be kind enough to create a new sub-forum called "Peak Debt" on his new AP forum. What do you say to that Peak Debt? You might get more people interested in the subject that way. Just an idea.
